WHY CHOOSE CHENGELO SCHOOL?
At Chengelo, our Christian foundation is not an add-on, it is the heartbeat of everything we do.
It shapes our programmes, our values, our expectations for behaviour, and the aspirations we hold for every student entrusted to us. We believe that each child is created in the image of God, uniquely gifted and called for a purpose. Our role as educators is to recognise and nurture those God-given abilities so that every child grows in confidence, character, and a deep sense of identity rooted in Christ.
Because of this, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum that honours the full development of each student. We value strong academics, physical development and the creative arts, but also intentionally cultivate qualities such as integrity, resilience, servant leadership, and compassion. These are lived out not only in the classroom, but also through boarding life, community responsibilities, and our distinctive outdoor education programme at Ndubaluba where students learn to trust God, work as a team, and develop character through real, challenging experiences.
Our aim is to shape young people who think biblically, act with courage, serve with humility, and live out their faith wherever God calls them.
A Message from the Principal
Mr. Michael Bownes
At Chengelo, we believe in nurturing not just the mind, but the whole person – academically, spiritually, physically, and morally. Our school was founded with a vision to raise up a generation of leaders who will impact Zambia, and the world beyond, for God’s glory. This vision remains as alive today as it was when the school first opened its gates.
As Principal, I have the honour of walking alongside a passionate staff team, dedicated students, and a supportive parent and alumni community. I have been deeply encouraged by the spirit of excellence, faith, and unity that defines Chengelo. It is a special place, not just because of its beautiful location, but because of the people who bring its vision to life each day.
Whether you are a prospective parent, a current student, or an alumnus looking back with pride, I trust this website gives you a glimpse into what makes Chengelo unique. From the classroom to the sports field, from Ndubaluba to the stage. There is a commitment here to growth, character, and foremost, Christ-centered education.
